washington should stop subsidizing millionaires. in fact, if you're earning a million dollars a year, you shouldn't get special tax subsidies or deductions. on the other hand, if you make under $250,000 a year, like 98% of american families, your taxes shouldn't go up. you are the ones struggling with rising costs and stagnant wages. you are the ones who need relief. now you can call this class warfare all you want but asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? most americans would call that common sense. we don't begrudge financial success in this country. we admire it. when americans talk about folks like me paying my fair share of taxes, it's not because they envy the rich it's because they understand that when i get a tax break i don't need and the country can't afford it either adds to the deficit or somebody else has to make up the difference. like a senior on a fixed income. or a student trying to get through school. or a family trying to make ends meet. that's not right. americans know that's not
